Police in Red Oak say a local man was arrested Sunday night on a charge of Criminal Mischief in the 3rd Degree. 23-year old Dustin James Danick, of Red Oak, was taken into custody at around 10:40-p.m., in the vicinity of N. 1st Street and E. Washington Avenue. He was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $2,000 bond.

An altercation in Red Oak early Saturday morning led to shots being fired from two separate weapons and the arrest of two people, with authorities still searching for a third person. According to Red Oak Police, officers were called to the 200 block of N. 4th Street at around 2:15-a.m. Saturday, after receiving a report of glass breaking. Following an investigation, 41-year old James Mitroff II, and 27-year old Jodi Brookshire, both of Red Oak, were arrested for Reckless Use of Firearms. The pair were being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $2,000 cash bond, each. Authorities are still searching for 33-year old Jacob Cochran, of Red Oak, in connection with the incident. Cochran faces felony charges that include 1st Degree Burglary and Domestic Abuse Assault with Injury. Anyone with information about his location is asked to call Montgomery County Crimestoppers. Anyone harboring Cochran may also face charges.

Authorities say after officers arrived on the scene, they learned Mitroff II, Brookshire and Cochran were at the residence, but Cochran had fled on foot. An investigation determined there was a physical altercation between Brookshire and Cochran inside the home, that continued outside. After Mitroff and Brookshire went back into the home, Cochran used force to gain entry to the residence and another physical altercation took place between Brookshire and Cochran.

Mitroff fired five rounds from a handgun into the air, in an attempt to scare Cochran, who then went outside. After Mitroff and Brookshire retrieved a shotgun, Brookshire accidentally fired a round from the shotgun into the ceiling and another on purpose, to scare Cochran, who had once again entered the home. After Mitroff took possession of the shotgun and fired another round into the air, Cochran left the home.

Additional charges are pending in connection with the incident.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A new law that prevented Iowa schools from starting before Aug. 23 helped boost crowds at the State Fair and other attractions this month. Attendance at the Iowa State Fair in mid-August hit an all-time high of 1,117,398. The Sioux City Journal reports the August crowds at Arnolds Park Amusement Park appeared larger this year.

Myles Kass owns a seasonal restaurant at Arnolds Park, and he said his August sales numbers were higher than in recent years. Many Iowa school districts started on Aug. 24. Last year, only 14 of 338 Iowa districts started after Aug. 23. Mark Sanders says the later school start helped him keep a promise to take his daughter and two friends to Arnolds Park earlier this month.
